"A body has been found after a huge community search for a vulnerable but ‘gentle’ man.

Shahab Uddin, 40, was last seen nine days ago and was reported missing by his family after he vanished in the early hours of Wednesday, 13 August.

Shahab was well known in the Loughborough area and hundreds of volunteers joined the search using drones to search countryside surrounding Quorn.

Fears grew with Shahab described as vulnerable, having learning difficulties and being reliant on medication and had left his phone behind.

On Thursday, officers announced they had found his body in an area near to the A6, by the One Ash roundabout in Loughborough.

The death is currently being treated as unexplained and enquiries remain ongoing."

According to this article in a local paper, Shahab was seen by a motorist trying to stop traffic and in distress later on the same day he was reported missing.

The place where the motorist claims to have seen Shahab is along the same road where he was later located, and his death is being treated as unexplained.

Leicestershire Police accused of driving past 'distressed' man

"A motorist has claimed to LeicestershireLive that they saw a man running into traffic and waving his arms at around pm on August 13. The driver, who did not want to be named publicly, claimed that two police cars drove past the man without stopping."

By 4pm Shahab had been missing all day, even if they didn't think to stop for a man in distress on an A road, surely they would have been aware of the report of the missing man matching his description?!

There is very little public information on this case, can't find any inquest date etc. Just that the police are continuing to investigate.
